Gathering everything I need to order for my F550

[aForcefulThrust]

OK so I've decided to gather all the components myself over buy the DJI kit, since I want to run 10" props on 4s.

So far I am about to order:
Frame kit F550
OPTO 30A ESC x6
Suppo 2814/8 1000kv motor x6 (are these a direct fit?)
NAZA+GPS controller
graupner 10x5 props x6

I allready have a spektrum reciever


Am I missing anything???? Also, will naza accept spektrum satellite receivers?

THANKS for your advice before I spend my money!

OK I'm reading the 10x5 props have an 8mm bore, the motor has a 4mm shaft. Can someone explain how this works?

for what its worth i had really good luck with the dji stock motors and setup that came with ARF kit. I am now moving on to some AXI motors but only because i want to fly a bigger payload. THe stock setup hauled around a hero 2, landing gear and gimble no problem though.

I plan on lifting allot too. I want to carry Some type of gimba, thinking about getting the photoshipone mkTR, but IDK for sure wich one I'll use yet. A nex 5n-type camera(maybe a little heavier one IDK yet), video tx/antenna, hdmi converter for videotx, and as big of a battery as i can manage. Probably add a few small things here or there when I start flying and get experience too.

Order some crash parts... (props, one more motor, 1 esc, 2 arms)

dji motors are bleah.
and you need this prop adapter for the 4mm shaft, you also need to grind in 2 flat spots on each side of the exposed shaft for the prop adapter to mount to.

also the 10's are going to be close at the tips, i used 9's on my hex. and could get away with 8's

Oh crap so I have to grind 6 motors without ****ing one up? That sounds pretty challenging for me since I don't have a dremel.. Is there another way to make them fit, maybe some adapters I can use without grinding?
I don't mind if the 10's are close as long as they don't touch lol.

Good idea with the ESC- I'll order 7 and some extra props.

i used 6 of these on my Hexa,proper smooth,quiet motors

fits the Graupners with the tiny adapter which can be bought with the props
plenty of power on 3S lipo with the 10" Graupners.

What glue would you recommend for holding the gps riser rod together? Does anyone use hotmelt glue for rc projects? Is there any hotmelt glue thats made for holding things like that together?

just get a dremel its cheap 60$ tape the top of the bell up, and grind a flat spot in.
you are gonna need the dremel anyway to widen the f550 motor mount center holes anyway.

OK now I'm debating these iPower 2814 750kv motors vs the suppo 2814 1000kv motors. The reason for this is I plan to get the extension plates later on for my F550 and run 12" props. What motor is better for this??
